Thanks, it’s a small world l that’s the first time we’ve been to Scone palace. Was very restricted due to lockdown so we just came back out and will revisit at a later dateHaggisman wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 10:44 pmCar looks great Andy, great photos and was interesting to see the Scone Palace sign, I went to primary school in Scone and secondary in Perth. Enjoy the new car.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:43 pm Well as you know it’s now here and it’s lovely. Couple of quick observations, the colour and combo with the shadowline pack really suits this car and we’re delighted with it. I honestly have lost count of the amount of comments and compliments we’ve had.
It’s a very nice place to be and I like the smooth drive and tech in it. The biggest surprise, probably because I’ve never had it before, is the adaptive cruise. I really really like it. The seating position and overall cabin space is great.
Personal choice again but I’m so glad we never went for frozen grey. Came out this morning and the bonnet had some serious bird sh!t on it. Being ceramic coated it was down to Halfords’s for some Autoglym bird dropping removal wipes and after leaving them soaking for 5-10 minutes they came off no bother.
Anyway some of you asked for some proper photos so here you go, oh and I forgot how hot it can be with the roof down

Yeah,the M3s and M4's are coming with Super Sports too,SARS/Andy.sars wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:17 pmThanks,
One of my mates recently bought a fully loaded M4 Competition,and I was surprised to see Super Sports on it,given they were replaced a wee while ago by Michelin.
Good tyres,but as said, replaced by newer pilot 4S tyres.
Strange one.

So that’s us home, what a fantastic weekend and a fantastic way to get to know the new car, I know I’m spoilt with the roads I have easy access to so a last few photos of the end of our trip
We had good company in the hotel car park this morning, the 4th member of the group was a burnt orange GTR parked separately, they were up to do the NC500

Some great pics buddy - every time you post I know that I need to do a trip to Scotland so going to get that planned in for certain, the roads and scenary look amazing
Car looks good and the colour is one of the two I would pick on a G29

As you know the colour choice was a longish process for us but can’t tell you how delighted we are with the blue, today at least 3 or 4 people said how lovely it was and how much it popped in the sun

Photo's look great Andy, Nice car, good company, excellent roads and beautiful scenery, you won't stop grinning until the road fund licence is due.
